This comprehensive treatise is a valuable resource for products liability cases, offering an overview of the complex caselaw and statutes that have evolved over the past century. Part I outlines the foundational theories of warranty, misrepresentation, negligence, and strict liability, while also examining key product defects—design, manufacturing, and failure to warn—as well as challenges in proving defects and causation. It concludes with an exploration of available defenses and potential damages for plaintiffs. Part II focuses on practical issues in litigating products liability cases, including case research, drafting complaints, discovery processes, and evidence management.
